Go to you tube and pull up Striker floating suit.  Hope I never have to use the  "floating" part of it .

I just got a new Arctic Armor suit last week.  The chinsy plastic piece to adjust the strap broke as I was adjusting them to fit me.  My first suit lasted a season and a half, and the second suit didn't last more than five minutes.

It's going back today!

Talked to Shawn @ Striker the other day and he told me that they never put ice pics in their suits.  He said Red Rock must have put them in there, sorry for the misinfo guys,

I love the coat but would not purchase the bibs again . They are a pain to put on and take off . They have no fly , so you have to take of the coat off and strip down along way just to relive your self . You have to put them on and then put your boots on , same with taking them off . The zippers on the legs get packed in ice and wont work until they thaw out .

Thanks for the info! I have been considering biting the bullet and investing in an ice suit. From the information I have gathered on the interweb I am strongly considering the Striker ice climate 3-in-1 jacket and bib. Does anyone have any reviews on how the striker suit holds up and performs?

My Arctic Armor Plus (the green one) has a fly....I'll admit it doesn't go down enough for my liking but I don't need to take my coat off to take a leak.

Love my striker suit.  Its a couple years old and one of my favorite things about ice fishing.  Really warm and blocks 100% of the wind.  Bought the striker because I saw many more negative reviews on the AA suit when i was doing my research.  Nice to know i'll float if i take a swim.

Another AA story, I got a new sled and took it out for a few miles of breaking it in this past weekend. The Arctic Armor suit was so warm that I had to stop and remove a base layer so all I was wearing under the suit was a tshirt and pair of long johns. In -10 I was comfortable being out all day riding, and then added a sweater layer and we sat on the ice much of the night at the fishing shack. I dozed off in a lawnchair after a long day of riding, and several people mentioned that they did not know how I was able to sleep in a chair out in the open as they were freezing and in and out of the shack to warm up all the time. The AA suits are very warm, very windproof, and very comfortable.
